After enjoying the farm sunset with baby JJ, Ellie helped Dina with chores before petting a young calf. As dusk approached, I herded the sheep back into the barn. While guiding a stray calf back to its pen, a sudden noise triggered a terrifying flashback to Joel's death.
Ellie passed some quality time sitting with JJ on the vintage tractor while taking in the cool sunset view over the farm. Afterward, Ellie gently mentioned to the baby that they should head back inside and check on Dina.
I walked through the farmhouse toward the backyard and spotted Dina heading out to hang up laundry. Following her out to the garden perimeter, I noticed rows of ripe tomatoes, fresh crops, and colorful flowers growing in the garden beds.
Dina gathered dirty clothes by the outdoor washing area to clean them first. As she worked, Ellie stepped up to kiss and embrace her playfully, though Dina seemed a bit overwhelmed while trying to focus on her chores.
Giving Dina space to finish the laundry, Ellie walked over with JJ to pet a young sheep calf in the yard. Ellie guided JJ's hand to touch the animal's coat, and the baby smiled softly while enjoying the interaction.
With daylight fading, Dina asked Ellie to herd the sheep back inside the barn for the night. Dina took JJ into her arms to keep him safe while Ellie stepped out into the pasture to gather the flock.
I started driving the herd toward the barn entrance. The task proved straightforward, as the domestic animals were familiar with their routine and moved together into the shelter.
After guiding the sheep into their individual stalls inside the barn, Ellie said a quiet goodnight to the flock, promising to see them again the next morning.
Before leaving the barn, Ellie noticed the same young calf they had been petting earlier sitting outside its designated enclosure. She walked over to gently guide the stray back toward its parents stall.
As I approached the calf, a sudden metallic noise echoed through the quiet barn like thunder. The sound instantly triggered a violent flashback of the moment Joel was killed, leaving Ellie panicked and paralyzed with fear in the dark.
We'll check what happens next in another post.
